726 My translation of Origen's Commentaries created no excitement; his first translation, of Pamphilus' Apology, roused all Rome to indignation. 727 But the work was really Eusebius's, who tells us that Pamphilus wrote nothing. 728 After the condemnation of Origen by Theophilus and Anastasius, it would be wise in Rufinus to give up this pretended defence. 729 I had praised Eusebius as well as Origen only as writers; and was forced to condemn them as heretics. Why should this be taken amiss? 730 I wrote a friendly letter to Rufinus, which my friends kept back. 731 There is nothing to blame in my getting the help of a Jew in translating from the Hebrew. 732 There is nothing strange in my praising Origen before I knew the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν. 733 The accusations seem inconsistent, but I knew them only by report. 734 The office of a commentator. 735 We must distinguish methods of writing, and not expect a vulgar simplicity in the various compositions of cultured men. 736 My assertion was true, that Origen permitted the use of falsehood. 737 The accusation about a mistranslation of Ps. ii is easily explained. 738 In the difficulties of the translator and the commentator we must get help where we can. 739 In the Commentary on Ephesians I acted straightforwardly in giving the views of Origen and others. 740 As to the passage “He hath chosen us before the foundation of the world.” 741 As to the passage “Far above all rule and authority &c.” 742 As to the passage “That in the ages to come &c.“ 743 As to “Paul the prisoner of Jesus Christ.” 744 As to “The body fitly framed &c.” 745 I quoted Origen's views as, “According to another heresy.” 746 As to “Men loving their wives as their own bodies.” 747 As to “Men loving their wives as their own bodies.” 748 To the charge of reading secular books I reply that I remember what I learned in youth. 749 Also, a promise given in a dream must not be pressed. Why should such things be raked up by old friends against one another? 750 I am right in my contention that all sins are remitted in baptism.
